Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Female | spayed | 9 years and 3 months old
Hi, My dog seems to puff out her cheeks sometimes when breathing out. It is not causing her any discomfort or difficulties breathing. She has a slight cough which is also happening now and again mainly when she gets too excited. She also drunk water last night and then was sick but only with water. She seems to be drinking a lot more water than usual too.

Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach to address your concern. With the symptoms you are describing, I would have a veterinarian examine her to be on the safe side. I would want to make sure her heart is functioning normally and that there is not a heart murmur or fluid in the lungs. I would also suggest having her blood tested to make sure there are no concerning changes with Lola's systemic functions. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I am also available via consult if needed.
